Well then some random package you find on the Internet might not work
even if it is named the same.

This is why it would be safer to get another computer and install
Samba on it and then move the other services over to the new computer
and then switch off the old computer.

I cannot help you with that.

Another thing you can try is rebuild the source RPM yourself.  You
might need to install some other development packages to do this,
though.

See e.g.:

Maybe you should post a new thread with a subject like:

Looking for samba-2.2.5-107 RPM for SuSE or United Linux (or Conectiva?).
